Mrs. Laura F. Osborn, presi- dent of the Board of Education, be- lieves that all animals appearing on the wall decorations should be true to life, with those existing only in fancy or literature barred in order not to frighten or mislead the pupils. Sc Alice and her Wonderland playmates from Tweedleduim and Tweedledec down, Rip Van Winkle and all other make-believe cha, acters beloved by children of all ages will have to stay "put" in fairyland. "There is too much of that sort of thing in literature, art and movies ohstensibly for children," Mrs. Os- born declared. "I'm often asked tc preview motion pictures for children, and some of them are terrible. There was one. 'Jack in the Beanstalk,' that had a giant too ugly to show chil- dren. "We don't want to put untrue or ugly pictures on the walls of the school rooms for the children to look at. Our duty is to educate the chil- dren, not to give them nightmares." She expressed approval of a depic- tion of an Eighteenth Century mu- sical instrument "The Serpent" char- acterized as the forerunner of thc modern saxophone.
